IRT

I pulled tankers before on a spring water account and would like to get back in again. Does IRT let you take the trucks home or must you park at a terminal for home time? I live about 90 or so miles from the Bensalem, PA terminal, and would rather not have to commute to the truck if at all possible.

 

I would ask if you can take it home. As mentioned if you live within 100 miles they want the truck left at the terminal, but to be honest, they are so short of drivers here (especially in Bensalem) that I would be surprised if they didn't make an exception for you for the sake of 10 miles.

 

Don't know how I missed this. Glad you are OK and you had plenty of witnesses. I used to have a personal dashcam but it died and I haven't replaced it. I was told in orientation that if your dashcam footage exonerated you in a crash the company would give you $100 or $125 (don't remember exactly) as a bonus.

 

I think the upside down steering wheel would bother me more than the tires.

 

They aren't shy about deadheading. On more than one occasion I have had 1000+ mile deadheads coming out of FL after home time.

Wasn't even to get a specific load, they just told me to grab an empty and head towards Indianapolis because that was a busier spot for them.

 

Waited a little longer than normal for a clean tank up here at the Platteville spot. Gonna cut my losses for the week and try again this weekend.
